Octomom

If you don't know who the "Octomom" is you will now.  She is the woman who previously had six children, all through in vitro fertilization  and then just had another eight using the same method.  So now she has 14 children.  Besides that craziness she has no job, no money, and I personally think she is so annoying.  The reason I decided to blog about her is that we were talking in class on Friday about adoption and how people do not want to adopt American children due to legal issues and the fact that kids growing up in foster homes are not the easiest to deal with.  This is a prime example of healthy kids who should be put up for adoption, but will live in the media spotlight with 13 other brother and sisters in their house since their mother is the Octomom.  
Nadya Suleman, that is the Octomom's real name, has not really been taking care of any of her new eight babies since she is too busy being on the Dr. Phil show, going to amusement parks with some of her other children, and spending over a thousand dollars at a MAC cosmetics store.  Since she has no job and was previously providing for her family using food stamps, she is getting her income from marketing a tape of her eight newborn babies birth reportedly for seven figures.  She seems like an unfit mother and I feel bad for her previous children and her eight new babies that have been in the media spotlight since even before their birth.  
I think that these healthy babies would make any family looking to adopt happy and that they would have a better life not living with the paparazzi and their Octomom.  Since she is not a good mother and people are watching her every move if she were to have her children taken away they would probably be the ones with issues and anger problems in the foster homes because of how they were raised.  Here is a video of her parenting skills when one of her sons is making friends and playing with the paparazzi.  It takes her a minute to realize, but when she does she just laughs it off.  Who wouldn't laugh when your one of 14 children is playing with creepy strangers who want to capture your life on camera?

  1. Okay first of all, I just want to say that I love TMZ :) ..And secondly, since we're on the topic of adoptions; I cannot believe that Madonna's intended adoption request of a 3 year old child from Milawi got denied. Especially since she has adopted a child from there before.

    The website above jokes about Madonna, "but there's also eight little babies in La Habra just waiting for you..." (Referring to Octomom's babies haha)

  2. First question I have is how could she afford in vitro fertilization? This makes no sence to me. There is no way that she could afford thousands of dollars when she is feeding her six other kids on food stamps. Then there is the ethical issue of the doctor doing the in vitro. These kids should be taken away from her. She can't even control the six kids she already has. We as a society are going to be paying welfare for her kids until they are 18 and then life for the kids she has with disabilities. There is no way that she is a fit mother and social services should be doing their jobs and taking these kids out of an unfit envirnment. This whole situation makes me sick. These kids deserve more than this and I will truely be disterbed if our society doesn't do something about this and soon. The latest on the octomom is that she got a tatoo on her back. What her kids eating of food stamps isn't a clue to her that she needs to be saving money. This totally disgusts me!!!!
